Course Description
This course is an extension of Introduction to Political Methodology. It assumes that students are comfortable with the rudimentary vocabulary from POL101 that revolves around theory and hypothesis development in political science. This course delves more deeply into quantitative analysis in the political and social sciences by using examples and observations taken from American, Japanese, and international comparative contexts. This is not a class in statistics or statistical theory. While various techniques for analysis are introduced, the emphasis is on gaining experience with the structure, exploration and visualization of political data. At the beginning of the term, students develop a research question on a domestic or international problem of interest to them and, by the end, have made progress on research related to that question.

Course Description
This course is an introduction to syntactic theory from the standpoint of mainstream generative grammar (i.e., biolinguistics). It focuses on major syntactic phenomena in various languages to see how universal grammar is organized in our mind. Though its main purpose is not to introduce the most current and advanced theory of syntax, discussion sometimes touches upon issues that are currently under debate. The course examines the structure of sentences; phrases; compound and complex sentences; conditions and principles; the interaction of syntax with morphology and semantics. Material to be drawn from various languages.

Course Description
This course studies how Shakespeare used sources from myth and literature to create the fantasy worlds of two of his most famous plays: A Midsummer Night's Dream and The Tempest. Students watch performances of these plays and watch other performances on their own in ICU library. As we read, we learn about Early Modern drama, and Elizabethan theaters like Shakespeare's Globe and the Blackfriars. Secondary reading includes the myths and stories that influenced Shakespeare's writing, including Ovid and popular English fairy tales. Discussion topics include: folklore and mythology, travel literature, colonialism and 'otherness', slavery, and gender. Secondary reading for advanced students and/or Literature majors includes parts of other Shakespeare plays related to fairy tale and folklore (Macbeth, The Winter's Tale, Cymbeline) and the works of other Elizabethan and Jacobean playwrights including Nashe, Middleton, and Webster.
